Möbius (left) and Hückel (right) orbital arrays. The two orbital arrays in Figure 3 are just examples and do not correspond to real systems. In inspecting the Möbius one on the left, plus–minus overlaps are seen between orbital pairs 2-3, 3-4, 4-5, 5-6, and 6-1, corresponding to an odd number (5), as required by a Möbius system.
The Hückel method or Hückel molecular orbital theory, proposed by Erich Hückel in 1930, is a simple method for calculating molecular orbitals as linear combinations of atomic orbitals. The theory predicts the molecular orbitals for π-electrons in π-delocalized molecules , such as ethylene , benzene , butadiene , and pyridine .
In organic chemistry, Möbius aromaticity is a special type of aromaticity believed to exist in a number of organic molecules. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] In terms of molecular orbital theory these compounds have in common a monocyclic array of molecular orbitals in which there is an odd number of out-of-phase overlaps, the opposite pattern compared to the ...
He is mainly known for the Debye–Hückel theory of electrolytic solutions and the Hückel method of approximate molecular orbital (MO) calculations on π electron systems. Hückel was born in the Charlottenburg suburb of Berlin. He studied physics and mathematics from 1914 to 1921 at the University of Göttingen.
Benzene, the most widely recognized aromatic compound with six delocalized π-electrons (4n + 2, for n = 1).. In organic chemistry, Hückel's rule predicts that a planar ring molecule will have aromatic properties if it has 4n + 2 π-electrons, where n is a non-negative integer.
The Möbius strip is one of the most famous objects in mathematics. Discovered in 1858 by two German mathematicians—August Ferdinand Möbius and Johann Benedict Listing—the Möbius strip is a ...
Möbius aromaticity occurs when a cyclic system of molecular orbitals, formed from p π atomic orbitals and populated in a closed shell by 4n (n is an integer) electrons, is given a single half-twist to correspond to a Möbius strip. A π system with 4n electrons in a flat (non-twisted) ring would be anti-aromatic, and therefore highly unstable ...
Hückel or Huckel may refer to: Erich Hückel (1896-1980), German physicist and chemist Debye–Hückel equation (named after Peter Debye and Erich Hückel), in chemistry, a method of calculating activity coefficients; Hückel method (named after Erich Hückel), a method for the determination of energies of molecular orbitals
